Power engineers began emergency repair work as soon as it was safe to do so.

Background:

On 26 May, some consumers in Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zhytomyr, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy and Kharkiv oblasts were temporarily left without power due to hostilities and Russian strikes on energy facilities.
Food worth US$1.4 million, intended to support people in frontline areas, was destroyed when a Russian Iskander ballistic missile struck a UN World Food Programme warehouse in Dnipro.
